Spinach Salad With Pineapple, Prosciutto and Shallot Dressing

Recipe #302352 | 15 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Oolala

I can't wait to try this from the Sun-Sentinel, Feb. 28, 2008. The note above the recipe says that "This is a play on the original spinach salad; it can be served as a starter or offered alongside roasted chicken, pork or duck. The addition of pineapple adds sweetness and body. Baby arugula leaves would work well instead of spinach."
